Assigning Superior Fuunctional Location to a Functional Location

Hi Experts,
I am assigning a Superior Functional Location to a Functional Location in IL02. This allows the Functional Location to inherit data from the Superior Functional Location.
However, im my scenario this is incorrect as I do not want the data to be inherited and overwritten.
Does anyone know how I can do this to prevent the data being overwritten - in terms of in IL02 or Configuration? When I use IL02 it does not give me the option to prevent it from overwriting.
Thank you,
Muna S.K Ali

There is no customizing to change that. If you copy from either ref. functional location / functional location, some of the data will be copied automatically.
Even you create some superior FL first & then derive sub FL, some fields will be copied automatically.
Go to Menu Edit => Data Origin list, you can find the fields inherited from superior.
If you want to change, go to menu Edit => Data Origin & change the option to Maintain individually
Refer this thread for further clarity.

Assignment of measuring point category to functional location category

Hi,
If i am not doing performance based maintenance planning for functional locations then is there any need to assign/put measuring point category to functional location category during customization ?
Regards,
Vivek

You could also use measurement points for Condition based maintenance functionality or for Capturing measurement readings not relevant for Maintenance planning. if your business process doesn't need both along with Performance based maintenance, its not required to assign the same.

Assign equipment from hierarchy to functional location

Hi all,
I'm new to PM so the question might be a bit stupid. But I have got a hierarchy for a piece of equipment. The highest level is a recorder. The lower levels are sensors that i need to calibrate. I now want to assign the sensors (lower level) to functional locations. It can be possible that each lower level is assigned to another functional location. Is this possible? I now get the error message that the piece of equipment is assigned to a hierarchy.
Thanks for your help

This can be achieved but obviously the equipment hierarchy would be disturbed because the equipment can either be installed on a functional location or a superior equipment not both the two. What you can do is the functional location for the superior equipment is to be extended so as to cover the subordinate equipments and obviously there would not be any direct link between the equipment and the superior equipment.
Equipment: Recorder installed on FLoc: Plant-Recorder
Equipment: Sensor installed on Floc:Plant-Recorder-Sensor
that is how you can achieve it but the relationship between the equipment and superior equipment is to be compromised.

What is hierarchical data transfer in functional location

hai,
i want to know indetail about hierarchical data transfer and horizontal data transfer in functional location.
can any one help me in this regard....
plz give information with some example if you dont mind...
thanks in advance
regards
gunnu.

Hi
From SAP HELP
Hierarchical Data Transfer
Definition
You can maintain data at a high level within a hierarchical object structure. The system will automatically transfer the data changes to the levels below that are affected.
The maintenance planner group is changed for the clarification plant described in Functional Location. The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change to the master record of the highest functional location C1 and saves the changes. The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations below the functional location C1, and issues a message to inform the employee of these changes.
Horizontal Data Transfer
Definition
With horizontal data transfer you can differentiate between:
Data transfer from reference location to functional location
Data transfer from functional location to installed piece of equipment
The ABC indicator of the functional location C1-B02-1 "Ventilator" is to be changed for several clarification plants.
The employee responsible for maintaining the master data makes the change in the master record of the reference functional location and saves the entries.
The system automatically makes the same change for all affected functional locations that were assigned to this reference location and for the pieces of equipment that are installed at these locations. The system then issues a message informing the employee of the changes.

Issue Transferrering Business Entity to Functional Location

Dear All,
There are problems trying to update a Business Entities to produce
Functional Locations in Plant Maintenance where the BE was originally
created with the 'FL not automatically created' box checked.
Now in change mode (FO22), unchecked the 'FL not automatically created' box.
For the BE currently being updated a message is being produced
indicating 'Functional location 01-40775 generated or assigned' followed
by one that says 'Functional location 01-40775 does not exist' resulting
in not being able to save the change.
Can you please suggest me about this.
Thanks

Standing order - Functional Location

Hi guys,
I have very simple question. What is a standing order for a functional location?
I currently have a requirement to automatically perform a goods issue movement 261(GI for order) and we are doing it by creating a characteristic field in the functional location.
We have a development that when a fuel consumption is done, the posting goes to the order it has saved as a characteristic.
However I went into the IH01 transaction and saw this Standing order field, and well if this field can work as an open order associated with a functional location then we wouldn't have any need for this development.
What is a standing order? Can we assign a standing order to a functional location so that it always posts material costs related to that functional location to it?
Thanks and best regards!
Fernando

Fernando,
Its basically a Order to continuously collect costs for on-going work, instead of creating a separate work order for each activity.Its often used in Fleet process to collect fuel consumption costs, when there is a need to know , at any point of time the total fuel consumption cost by vehicle/location.
The standing order field in the FL or Equipment is generally used when you want to default the settlement rule for the order with this value(Auto generate), when this object is associated to the order.
You could use this field for identification of fuel consumption costs for the vehicle , just be sure that for other maintenance orders for this object the standing order is not provided as default value in settlement rule by accident.

PM: Copy functional location to another

Hi,
Is there any function module or BAPI which can copy one functional location to another functional location. Thanks

Ya I know about the table IFLOT. But my requirement is that I need to give a functional location as the input and execute to see the hierarchical structure of this functional location. I should also have a button on this output screen to enable the user to copy this functional location and its subordinates to other functional locations. And once this is done, I need to see the newly copied FL structure in the output also. Is this possible?

How to find out Equipments installed at a given Functional location in PM .

Hi Gurus ,
                  I am working on a PM requirement and need to extract the equipments installed at a functional location . The Functional location table is IFLOT and Equipment master is EQUI . I dont find any direct link between these 2 tables .Please guide me as to how to go about the process .
Regards,
Venkatesh.

Hi Anji,
            The view VIAUF_AFVC is for maintenance orders and operations. I tried giving my functional location on the selection screen and checked for the contents , but it says no entries found. Probably this table will get populated only when a maintenance order is issued.
   I need to find out the equipments at a given functional location . Is there any other way ?

Assign functional location to operations of work orders

Hi PM experts,
I want to assign a different funcional location to each operation of a work order.
Is it possible??? How can I do that???
Thanks in advance.

Do the config in IMG => PM & CS => Maintenance & Service Processing => Maintenance & Service Orders => Functions => Define Notification & Order Integration
There for your order type, Select Assignment of Technical Objects to Operations Active.
Note: One operation can be assigned to only one functional location. If you want to assign one operation for 2 FLs, its not possible. You should define 2 different operations.
In maintenance order, in Objects tab, select the FLs. Select first FL & click Assignment button at the bottom. In pop up window, you will get the list of operations. Select the operation & assign that for the FL.

Functional Location Structure Indicator

Hi Gurus,
I have created a functional location with an incorrect structure indicator. Wanted to know if there is a way out to change it without using the alternative labelling system?
The current status of the functional location is 'CRTE' (created) & no equipment is installed at this location.
I have to use the same functional location label therefore have to find a way out to get it changed.
Aprreciate your responses...
Thanks,
Swati

Swati,
You will not be able to change the Structure indicator of a FL once its created.
However if its a brand new FL and noting has yet been assigned(Like equipments) or created (Orders / Notifications) using it and if the FL key satisfies the New Structure indicator (and its the superior FL) You could potentially look at doing a direct table update using a custom program.
